How can you tell which it is?

Until recently i didn't know that regulated mod's can come in either series or parallel... So! How can you tell which it is? I always thought that all regulated mods were Series, the reason that its a concern for me is that ive always kept my batteries in groups so that i don't use for eg my parallel mechs batteries in my regulated mods and vise versa cus as we all know this is bad practice and i'm thinking that the same would be true of using the same batteries for regulated parallels and series mods!?

Thanks

A series regulated mod won't turn on if only one battery is installed a parallel mod will.

As long as the cells have been used (aged) together it really doesn't matter if they are used in series or parallel.

I would recommend a charger that shows capacity in mAh so you know if one is aging faster than the other.

Edit: example VC4 Charger
